notebook: 5/24/87

At the moment we discover a way to express something, that very action
propels us all lthe more firmly in the world that was being addressed. Then, when
we have given it, that world grasps itself around us and it. What could make
one feels more separate from oneself, than that? Advancing towards the horizon of
exchange: -laughter and anguish.

To listen is to learn the alchemy of the known.

The poem: any shape at all where every part is necessary.

"Such people are dangerous. They do not obey known hierarchies."
